Answer 3

I live in washington dc, and last summer a young lady was standing at the bus stop waiting on a bus when it started to storm, she was struck by lightning and it struck her cell phone which burned to a crisp, she succumbed to her injuries later that evening... So no it is not a good idea to talk on your phone in a lightning storm.

Answer 4

It is safe to use your cell phone during a storm. This also goes for cordless phones in your home. You would be in no greater danger than if you were standing in a storm without a phone.

I think there is a misconception from the old "corded" phone days where lightning could and did travel through a phone line and zap the caller. You should not use a corded phone during a thunderstorm, but your cell phone is fine.
